1. Team
– get the best team.
– the best volunteers are not available. Get those volunteers
-personal note: get the right people on the bus.
– don’t just get because of their availability
2. Tools
– train them. Dont just empower – give them the training they need.
3. Trust
– mentor them through the process
– goal is not for them to make mistakes again and again.
– mistakes will happen. Learn to trust and empower.
